can you upgrade to php 8.0 test

[Sarjuuk]

ah great.. 5 instances of the null safe operator ?-> are in use, which is a v8.0 feature.

honestly, i'll probably bump up the requirements, rather then change those. It's already been 1.5yr since release...

Problem resolved. I update php to 8.0. Thanks for information.
